Memorial run at Scott Lake honors ‘port dawgs’

Air transportation specialists gathered for a memorial run May 22 at Scott Lake.

The run honored “port dawgs” who have passed in the line of duty.

“Unfortunately, we do this every year,” said Tech. Sgt. Tim Brady, Air Mobility Command transportation systems and data management functional. “There are fallen Airmen that we pay homage to, and this is how we choose to do it.”

Before the run began, a streamer with the names of the fallen from 2016 was attached to a port dawg guidon. Runners also carried chains with a vice attached for each fallen port dawg.

Unfortunately, we do this every year. There are fallen Airmen that we pay homage to, and this is how we choose to do it.
